The forename has been corrected on the card: „Andrzeja” struck out, „Antoniego” added above the line. I accept the correction (Antoni), the original wording remaining in the text of the extract.

Dear reader, remember that this is an AI study, that it may contain errors; treat it as indicative and verify it for yourself.
„Separate entries for persons” means: separate entries of a given name with a surname and a byname, not persons proved to have existed. The same man recorded in four registers is one entry, but two namesakes from the same village are sometimes impossible to tell apart, and over twenty years a parcel could pass to a son of the same name. The hearths given at a collective entry are an equal division among those named — a calculation, not a reading.
| Year | Source | Entries | Persons | Hearths |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1775 | Hearth tax register 1775 | 2 | 2 | 2,0 |
| 1789 | List of possessors of holdings of 1789 | 1 | 1 | — |
| 1790 | Hearth tax register 1790 | 1 | 1 | 1,0 |
No entry from 1789 and 1794. This is the absence of the surname in the cards transcribed so far, not proof that the family was not there then: in the card file the 1794 register covers fewer villages than the others, and the 1775 one sometimes counts a whole starosty in a single entry, without surnames.

The card-index entries
All the extracts for this surname in the wording of the cards. One block is one occurrence: this person, in this register. In a collective entry the same text of the card stands beside every person named — because the card names them together, and they must not be separated.
Ługi WielkieZbuczyn parish
the same entry also names: Chromiński Wawrzeniec2 persons on a holding without hearths
The card gives the bare name of the holding in the adjectival form („Żurowszczyzna”), without the forename of its owner; I link it with the Żurawskis, because T75, entry 4 (card 1), records in this village „cz. Antoniego Żurawskiego dym 1” — this is a conclusion drawn from comparing the cards, not the writing of the card. The first letter of the name [reading uncertain]: a capital „Ż/Z”, without the crossbar which the same hand sets in the „Ł” of the word „Ługowskiego” in the line below — I therefore read „Żurowszczyzna”, and not „Ługowszczyzna”; further on „-urow-” is clear, not „-ugow-”. The index „1)” refers to L1 and to the explanation „1) ten sam” at the foot of the card: Wawrzeniec Chromiński, who holds this holding in pledge, is the same man who has a holding of his own in L1.
Stare OkninyZbuczyn parish
Before „Stefana” stands a word struck through with a horizontal stroke, beginning with „Ł”; I read „Łuk” [reading uncertain] — probably a forename begun and abandoned („Łukasza”). The figure „1” underlined.
This surname in full edition of the hearth-tax registers — together with the search across all persons, the comparison of figures through the registers, the modern map and the Perthées engraving of 1786.
